concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Warning! The voltage of your electrical installation must correspond to that of the iron (220V-240V).

Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the guarantee.

• This iron must always be plugged into an earthed socket. If using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is

correctly rated (16A), with an earth.

• If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an Approved Service Centre to

avoid any danger.

danger.

• Never immerse your iron in water!

• Do not unplug your appliance by pulling on the cord. Always unplug your appliance: before filling or rinsing

the water tank, before cleaning it, after each use.

• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to a power source; if it has not cooled down for

approximately 1 hour.

• Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns, especially when you are ironing on a corner or edge

of the ironing board. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.

• Your iron should be used and placed on a stable surface. When you put your iron onto its iron rest, make sure

that the surface on which you put it is stable.

• This product has been designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to

Before first use

•

Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend

that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your

linen. Operate the Power zone trigger several times under the same conditions.

• There may be a release of smoke, a harmless odour and a light spray of

particles when you use your appliance for the first time. This has no effect on

the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

Please read these

instructions carefully.

Remove any labels from

the soleplate before

heating up the iron.

Preparation

What water to use?

• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.

However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to

eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.

• Never use water containing additives (starch, scents, softeners, etc.),

or water produced by condensation (e.g. water from tumble-driers,

refrigerators, air conditioners, rain water). The types of water contain

organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown

staining, or premature wear of the appliance.

Filling the water tank

• Unplug your iron before filling it.

• Set the steam control to –

fig.1.

• Take the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, with the point uppermost.

• Open the water tank lid –

fig.2.

• Fill the tank up to the “MAX” line –

fig.3.

• Close the flap of the water tank.

Use

Adjust the temperature and the steam

• Set the thermostat control – fig.4, referring to the table below.

• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough –

fig.5.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Select setting and save 20% energy compare with the maximum position.

• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low

temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,

• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on

before beginning to iron again,

• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most

delicate fibre. For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an

inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).

Spray Function (spray)

• Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button to dampen

laundry to remove stubborn creases –

fig.6.

Obtain more steam

• Turn the thermostat to “MAX” or “•••”.

• Operate the Power zone trigger from time to time – fig.7.

• To avoid drips, leave an interval of a few seconds between operations.

Vertical steam ironing

•

Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The

steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never

iron clothes which someone is wearing.

• Set the thermostat control to

“MAX” – fig.8.

• Operate the Power zone trigger by pulsing – fig.7 moving the iron from top

to bottom – fig.9.

Fill the tank up to the

“MAX”.

Never fill the appliance by

holding it directly under

the tap.

Do not remove the anti-

scale valve to fill the water

tank.

If your water is very hard, it is

possible to mix tap water with store-

bought distilled or demineralised

water in the following proportions :

- 50% tap water,

- 50% distilled or demineralised water.

= STEAM ZONE

In order to avoid water

dripping from the iron onto

the linen:

- Turn off the steam when

ironing silk or synthetic

fabrics.

- Set it at the minimum

position for wool.

Make sure that there is

water in the tank before

using this button.

Hold the iron a few

centimetres from the fabric

to avoid burning delicate

fabrics.

Every five pulses return the

iron to a horizontal position.

The auto-stop light will

be lit during normal use!

Be careful!

- Never touch the end of

the valve – fig.13.

- The iron will not

function without the

anti-scale valve.

The self-cleaning

function helps to slow

down scaling in your

iron.

In order to extend the

life of your iron, use the

Self-Cleaning function

once a month.

Attention!

The use of a scouring pad will

cause damage to your soleplate's

self-cleaning (depending on

model) coating – fig.17.

Dry ironing

• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.

• Set the steam control to –

fig.1.

• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

Extra Functions

Autoclean Catalys

®

Soleplate (depending on model)

• Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate which works by catalysis.

• Its exclusive coating helps continuously eliminate all the impurities generated by normal use.

• It is recommended that you always stand your iron on his heel to preserve its self-cleaning coating.

Integral anti-scale system

Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system. This system will help to provide:

• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,

• lasting performance from your appliance.

Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)

• The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light

flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a

horizontal position for more than 30 seconds –

fig.10.

• To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.

Anti-drip function (depending on model)

• When the iron is no longer hot enough to produce steam, the water feed will stop automatically to avoid

dripping.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)

• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.

• Adjust the steam setting to “Eco”.

• To remove the anti-scale valve, open the water tank lid and press the release

button

– fig.11 and then pull the valve upwards – fig.12.

• Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours

– fig.14.

• Rinse the valve under running water.

• Replace the anti-scale valve; press until it clicks in to place –

fig.15.

Self-cleaning

• Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it’s heel

with the thermostat set to “Max” and heat it up.

• When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal

position, over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve –

fig.11-12 (see previous

chapter).

• Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank

(with the impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate –

fig.16.

• At the end of the operation, replace the anti-scale valve; press it in until it clicks

– fig.15.

• Plug the iron back in and leave it resting on its heel for two minutes to dry the

soleplate.

• Clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic cloth while it is still warm.

Cleaning the soleplate

Your steam iron is fitted with a self-cleaning soleplate (depending on

model):

• The exclusive active coating helps continuously eliminate all the impurities

generated by the normal day-to-day use of the iron.

• However, if you iron using an unsuitable programme, some traces may be

left which require manual cleaning. In this case, it is recommended that
